Carb Overload

I wanted to share a couple of my favorite carb recipes. These tasty tidbits are great with pretty much any meal and so simple to make. If breads weren’t so bad for me, I would make these all of the time. I am going to share my Cheesy Crescents and my Cheddar Biscuits, and one day very soon I will feature my Strawberry Bread.

The Cheesy Crescents were developed to go with many of my Italian dishes that my clients enjoy, and the Cheddar Biscuits are my attempt at Cheddar Bay Biscuits from Red Lobster. I will never claim they are exactly the same, because quite honestly I don’t want them to be. I must warn you, these will not last long especially if your family likes bread like mine does.

2.) Using a pastry blender or two knives combine the baking mix with cold butter in a medium bowl to form a crumbly mixture. Do not mix to thoroughly. You want to make sure it is still a bit chunky with pea sized butter pieces.

3.) Add in cheddar cheese, milk, garlic, and Lowry’s seasoning. Mix with a wooden spoon until well combined, but do not over mix.

4.) Drop by 1/4 cup portions onto your prepared cookie sheet.

5.) Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the biscuits are lightly browned.

6.) While biscuits are baking begin making the topping. Melt the butter and then stir in the garlic and thyme. Once the biscuits come out of the oven drizzle the garlic butter over the tops of the biscuits. Use up all of the butter.

I’ll be trying the Crescents but not the Cheese biscuits. I know they’re good but I’d just better stay away from them! Glad you are back on the Blog Challenge…you’ll get caught up. Hang in there.

When I had my first born I could not imagine splitting the time I had with him with another baby. We didn’t have baby number 2 until he was 9 1/2 years old, which has been great, except when baby sis gets jealous because he gets to go outside and play with his friends. We’ve thought of having another one closer to baby number two’s age, but I just don’t know. I do know that I will not have a giant age gap again between 2 and 3 (if there is a 3.)

In my humble opinion, you can never have too many carbs! Seriously, ALL I’ve eaten today is carbs! Anyway, these cheesy crescent rolls make me really excited because they sound SO simple to make! And my hubs will LOVE those cheddar biscuits, even if they are slightly different than Red Lobster’s. Thanks so much for sharing the yumminess!
